SOME ENGLISH SURNAMES ARE QUITE FUNNY ~ SOME ARE VULGAR ~ MANY REFER TO PROFESSIONS & SOME ARE CONTRADICTORY ! MR LONG IS ONLY 5 FOOT TALL & MR SHORT IS NEARLY 7 FOOT ! MR NICE IS NASTY ~ MR NASTIE IS VERY NICE !
TIS said in some cases ~ shrewd Nature has planned
That names with their calling agree
For TWINING the Tea Man ~ who lives in the Strand
would be WINING ~ deprived of his *T* !
BUT ~ I would like to emphasise
In fact ~ it oft seems otherwise !
WASSY LATE is always EARLY ~ ISSY EARLY always LATE
The Triplet Girls ~ Cool - Calm - Collected ~ are always in a STATE !
MY UNCLE Mr Serious was always playing PRANKS
Our Doctor Dr Wiseman ~ was thick as two short PLANKS
Miss Goodtimegirl (alas - alack) was always Prim & Proper
And young Buster Lawless ~ ended up a Copper !
SOME NAMES ~ reflect a Man*s Profession
My Cousin ~ Frank Collector ~ has a postage stamp Obsession !
Charlie Coffin ~ he was very Grave ~ now he*s an UNDERTAKER
When WICK & WAX got married they became - a FANCY CANDLE MAKER !
IT ALL all seems serendipity ~ One last case I must state
When ISA FAT married IMA THIN
Their KIDS were all ~ of average WEIGHT !
So ~ if you abhor your NAME ~ It is your Folks who you should BLAME !
